Come along to a Active Residencies event

University can be very stressful, so as part of taking care of your wellbeing we want to help you look after both your mental health, awareness and physical activity.

Our wardens, often in collaboration with Oriam, host many fun and interactive sports-related events open to anyone wanting to stay active or simply to find new friends while trying something different.

You don't have to worry if you're a beginner, many people there usually are and come along just to have fun just like you!

Let's Play Football

In the Oriam Academy, every Friday you can come along and play a fun and informal football game with our wardens and other fellow students.

Attendance is completely free, but you do need to book your spot via the Oriam app. 

Dance classes

In collaboration with the student-led K-Pop society, every first Friday of the month you can join a completely free dance class! The dance steps and choreos are simple and fun, beginner friendly but also enjoyable for dancers. If you are a fan of the music genre, this is a great space to get to know fellow fans. If not, come learn a commercial/pop dance routine for free! Mark the following dates:

• Fri 12th September
• Fri 3rd October
• Fri 7th November
• Fri 6th February
• Fri 13th March
• Fri 1st May

No booking required- just show up at 5:30 at Oriam Dance Studio 2.

Table Tennis

If you're looking for a fun and dynamic way to meet new people and unwind, our Ping Pong event is just for you! You are welcome to join regardless if you are a seasoned player or just a beginner. Check ResLife's Instagram for dates and times, and find us near the Squash courts in Oriam.

Badminton

Looking to get active and meet new people? Come play badminton with our warden Andrew at Oriam. As always, everyone is welcome regardless of skill levels. You will notice yourself getting better after each practice anyway!
